Speaker 1 (00:01):
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
January fifth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I'm Amy Robots and I'm TJ. Holmes. This is officially
our first Morning Run of twenty twenty six, and it's
an odd one because Rhodes. As we sit here, it's
weird to think President Nicolas Maduro is on his way
to us. And we say that because we happen to
be as of this recording, watching live video of Maduro
(00:32):
being taken from the MDC in Brooklyn to a helicopter
to be brought right here to Manhattan, a stone's throw
from where we are in Lower Manhattan. It's his wild.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's crazy to think he is boarding a helicopter because
normally a prisoner would be taken from that detention center
in Brooklyn to the Federal courthouse here in Lower Manhattan
via the Brooklyn Bridge. But imagine the security, the traffic,
all the concerns that that would entail, having a former
lead of a country being brought up on federal charges
(01:04):
here in this country. And how do you transport that
said former official safely? Securely? I know we're used to
that in this area. With the un and all of that,
but this, this seems unprecedented.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, look, I've unpresidented. I've seen a lot of movies
where big time prisoners escape on the Brooklyn Bridge. Yes, right,
this big extravagant thing. But look there, it's just wild
to think that this guy is leaving the same prison
that did he left and going to the same courthouse
that Diddy went to every day four months. That is
(01:38):
what's happening right now. We'll get more into what's happening
with Yes, a court appearance expected for Nicolasimira Maduro and
his wife today. But again, a fascinating, very interesting morning
so far here in New York on this Monday morning,
first Monday of twenty twenty six. Also on the run
this morning, we'll be making stops in Colombia, Greenland, Cuba, Uvalde, Texas,
(01:59):
as well as New Jersey, Pandora, Tokyo, and Cincinnati, where
there's a call for celebration there. But not maybe for
our dear friend Michael Strahand because one of his records
fell yesterday. We'll get into that, and I'm sure he's
happy for the guy. But a longtime record that's stray held.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It was broken in ah right, Yes, we will get
into all of that, but we have to begin, of course,
our first leg. I guess it began in Brooklyn, but
it's evolving now into Lower Manhattan. Former Venezuelan president Nicholas
Madua and his wife woke up behind bars in Brooklyn
this morning and they are already making that early morning
journey trying to brave I guess for to avoid New
(02:41):
York City traffic via helicopter.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
First, first, everybody here knows the first Monday after the
new year, everybody's finally back. School is back in session.
You do not want to be on the Brooklyn Bridges line.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
You do not want to be sitting in traffic period
in Manhattan on a day like today. Yes, where the
city is back in business in every way.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, Madumra his wife, they are expected in court today
in Lower Manhattan. Now we have been told it was
supposed to be noon Eastern time. They are leaving quite early.
You have to make that noon appointment. But yes, they
do have holding facilities, so maybe they're just getting there
a little early. But we believe it is going to
be noon. They are going to be answering charges. I
believe at least four rows, but drugs charges, weapons charges,
(03:21):
everything connected to narco terrorism that they're going to be
looking at. Look a lot of questions. We don't know
if they have attorneys, private attorneys. We don't know what
arguments they're going to make. Certainly don't expect he's going
to be granted bail of any kind or anything. He
might be a flight risk at this dude, but he's
been treated like any other criminal at this point. But
(03:42):
they're going to be arguments made about is he a
prisoner of war? All of this stuff is going to cut.
We have no idea. But all we know is he
is on his way to Lower Manhattan, the same courthouse
where did he went into every single day during his trial.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, all eyes are going to be on that federal
courtroom at noon EA today. Of course, we will bring
you the very latest. But of note, the UN Security
Council is also meeting today here in New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
They've been scrambling trying to get some kind of response
to what the United States has now done in Venezuela, Venezuela.
Of course, the big question there is who exactly is
in charge in Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yes, officially it's the Vice President Drcy Rodriguez. But Trump
is now suggesting otherwise and has given the newly installed
vice president a heads up, a warning, so to speak,
to behave. We heard him praise her this weekend, saying
that she knows that she needs to do what she's told. Basically,
she knows what she needs to do, which is what
(04:39):
we tell her to do. He called her gracious. Seemed
like things were going well, but of note, recently Trump
said this, if she doesn't do what's right, she is
going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.
She has called for the release of Maduro at this point,
and that certainly angered President Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What is those types of words? Probably bigger than Maduro?
He was snatched out of his home. Was that a
threat against her life? Is what I am saying? She
is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger
than Maduro. He lost the presidency, he got taken out
of his country, and he's sitting in prison. It was
that a what kind of a threat is that?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It absolutely was a threat, and it certainly seemed menacing,
but vague, And of course, maybe perhaps the most venicing
menacing threats are vague because you don't quite know what
he means, and he could probably deny anything, anything that
would be significant or illegal, but certainly it's I would
be concerned.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So as we saw, Venezuela was first, and you just
mentioned that I would be concerned, while some are saying,
including Marco Rubio, that Cuba specifically should be concerned. But
it's not just Cuba. Greenland, Colombia as well as Cuba
have now all essentially been put on notice by President
Trump over the weekend. He didn't necessarily meant any words
(06:00):
when asked about the possibility of who's next first, who's
possibly next Columbia, he suggested military action there, accusing that
country's leader of running cocaine factories. And when he was
asked about a US military operation there, this was his response,
sounds good to me. Oooh all right.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And when it comes to Cuba, here's what the President
said about that country. He said that Cuba is ready
to fall. Cuba looks ready to fall. I don't know
if they're going to hold out. That is a direct
quote from the President of the United States. And then
we heard from Secretary of State Mark Rubio, who said
this during the Sunday morning interviews, that it's no secret
(06:39):
that the US is no fan of the Cuban regime,
saying here is his quote, if I lived in Havana
and I was in government, I'd be concerned.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And then Greenland not to be left out of all
these threats. The President repeated his desire to annex that country,
saying it's important to US national security. Now, he kind
of and tripled down. He was asked about this on
Air Force one, and he was kind of emphatic, herobes,
we need Greenland, Absolutely, we need Greenland. He spoke about
it a little more forcefully than he had spoken about
(07:11):
it last year. I would argue, Then, on top of that,
you have Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
I got his title right. His wife, the wife of
White House staffer, put out a tweet that was essentially
it was Greenland, a map of Greenland, but it was
painted with red, white and blue the American flags. All
(07:33):
that came out. So Denmark didn't appreciate any of it,
and they put out a statement essentially saying stop threatening us.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yes, here is the exact quote from Denmark. The Kingdom
of Denmark, and thus Greenland is part of NATO and
is therefore covered by the Alliance's security guarantee. We already
have a defense agreement between the Kingdom and the United
States today which gives the United States wide access to Greenland.
I would therefore strongly urged the United States to stop
(08:02):
the threats against a historically close ally and against another
country and another people who have said very clearly that
they are not for sale.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He feels empowered in hearing his statements about these three countries.
He feels, I think, empowered, Like everybody is on notice.
What is this dude going to do? He just snatched
a president from the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Without checking with Congress first, without alerting anyone who would
typically think that they would at least be notified ahead
of time, let alone be asked to vote on such
a measure. But at this point we're all waiting to
see what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Next, because none of them want to end up like
the guy we are looking at is going to end
up again. We told you we literally are looking at
live pictures as of this recording, and that was a
very short helicopter ride. It appears Maduro has made his
way to Manhattan. He has off that helicopter. We see
him walking. What a tan jumpsuit looks like some almost
brightly colored orange shoes. But he has someone on either
(09:04):
side of him, says DEA. The label on the back
of their jackets. I assume that his wife walking behind him,
the little lady, but she's being escorted as well by
one or two officers. They are all full tactical gear
hero robes. As we watch look pictures being taken by
the DEA. They have their own photographer. But it's fascinating
(09:24):
to watch that this guy was chillin at a presidential
palace in Venezuela but three nights ago.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
This is unreal to actually watch happened in actual time
and to see the amount of law enforcement and watching
them be escorted like this, and yet to see that
photographer backpedaling like you would see a journalist. But it
was a member of the team documenting this historic moment
where you have the I guess we were discussing if
(09:52):
this is technically now the former president of Venezuela and
his wife being led in handcuffs, flanked by DA officers,
headed into a Manhattan federal courthouse and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Filing into an armored vehicle. This is just amazing to watch.
Nothing short of ten to fifteen armed, fully armed, tactically
geared up officers getting Maduro and his wife into the
back of this armored vehicle they are heading down. You're
going to see a lot of live shots today that
look familiar, folks, because it is the same door, the
same entrance, the same building where you saw all the
(10:25):
live shots from Diddy's trial. But again, we didn't expect
to be talking about this, but we're looking up and
happen to see these live pictures happening right now as
of this recording. We'll keep an eye there. Also, continuing
on the run here, we do want to tell you
about a couple of high profile trials that are getting underway,
both of them today, one of them in Texas, the
other in New Jersey. That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
First in Texas, one of the very first police officers
to respond to the Euvaldi school shooting is on trial today.
Adrian Gonzalez is facing twenty nine counts of child abandonment
or endangerment. He is a former Uvaldi school officer, and
prosecutors say he failed to protect those kids during the
attack by refusing to engage the shooter and by not
(11:06):
following his active shooter training.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
A reminder there in Uvalde, nineteen students were killed, two
teachers were killed, and a reminder as well. I didn't
remember how long the delay was. We remembered the delay,
but folks, we all were aware shots were being fired.
Officers arrived on the scene, and there was seventy seven
minutes that went by between their arrival and the time
(11:29):
they finally started to breach and go in and try
to save those kids.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Remember those parents who showed up to the school trying,
desperately begging police officers to go in and save their children.
It is horrific. So yes, he will be standing trial
and that begins today. Also today, the quadruple murder trial
of Paul Cadero begins in New Jersey. Jury selection begins.
This is a long away to trial. These murders happened
(11:54):
nearly eight years ago, November twentieth, twenty eighteen. Paul Cadero
is accused of murder ding his brother, his brother's wife,
and their two children, ages eight and eleven. They were
viciously murdered in their own home, and then prosecutors say
he burned two mansions, including his own, to cover the crime,
to try and make it look as though someone else
(12:15):
had it out for their family, when prosecutors say it
was in fact him who killed all of these members
of his own family for money.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this
Monday Morning run. When we come back, records are falling.
One of them impacts Michael straight Hand, another one impacts
the movie theaters, and another one has to do with
a really big fish. We continue here on this Monday
(12:48):
Morning run with a big congratulations to Miles Garrett and
a big sorry to Michael straight Hand. Uh straight I
remember watching this game all those years ago. He became
the all time I'M sacks leader. He had more sacks
in one season than any defensive player ever in history. Well,
Michael Strahan's record fell yesterday to Miles Garrett. Yes, a
(13:13):
defensive end for the struggling Cleveland Browns, but he set
the record twenty three sacks in one year. He beats
the record set by Stray and TJ. Watt tied it
a couple of years ago, but Stray had it since
two thousand and one. I believe the record straight had
was twenty two and a half sacks. How do you
have a half sack? They have a way of calculating
(13:34):
two guys could get to the ball at the same
time and you get credit for a half sack, and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If he had just gotten the full sack, it would
have just been tied a half sack. I didn't even
know that that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's a thing, But Miles Garrett now has twenty three.
I'm sure Stray is happy for this guy. But a
great accomplishment to beat the record of one of the
all time grapes on a friend of ours. So there
you go, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Next up on the run, speaking of breaking records, you're
Avatar crossing the one billion dollar world wide.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Mark number one at the box office.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Again, Avatar just keeps on truck, and these are just
successful movies, each and every one of them.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Be a rough year for the box office, and then
it kind of had a very good rush starting at Thanksgiving.
Zootopia set things all Zuzopia too. It's been doing gang.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Busters one point six billion dollars for that one, and
then The Housemaid and Marty Supreme. Some members of our
household all very much enjoyed Marty Supreme last night. So
that's getting great reviews and doing really well at the
box office as well.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But Zootopia too came out of November and it was
number two at the box office this weekend. It means
a lot of families. Well, now we're interested. Housemaid moved
up to number three. It wasn't that high last weekend,
so it's it. Look congrats. I'm happy to see movies
and theaters coming back. Has been a big deal. Still
trying to dig out from the pandemic. Finally here a
(14:56):
three point two million dollar fish.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
So when I saw it for do you put this
into the rundown? I actually was really confused. Three point
two million dollars. I couldn't imagine that that was the
money spent for one fish.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was a big fish.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And yet yeah it's a big fish, but three point
two million dollars big.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Fish, an important fish out of some of the most
precious waters. Where you can find this fish. We're talking
about bluefin tune that they do this for Yosu Fish
Market in Tokyo, famous spot over there. But this happens weekly,
but it's a big deal at the beginning of the year,
people going after a fish. But this company that has
this sushi chain over in Japan, this thing is five
(15:38):
hundred and thirty five pounds, and it comes out of
the Oma northern coast of Japan where the best bluefin
tuna okay, comes out of those waters.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So six thousand dollars a pound is what that amounts to.
So how much for a sushi platter with this fish.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Probably not that much. Because you take this, everybody hears
about it. Then when it comes to your restaurant, now
you can order this, you serve this, even if you
don't pay the highest premium. What else are you gonna do?
Get size, You're gonna get drinks. It pays for itself
throughout the company.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
This is actually a not only is it wonderful to eat, apparently,
but also a phenomenal publicity, a marketing tool, so to speak.
So you're investing in advertising. Basically, look at the free
advertising they're getting right now. So anyone who's in the
area is rushing to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The former president of Venezuela is literally less than a
mile away from us, and we're talking about a fish
in Tokyo. So good job with your marketing this it
pays off. Before we let you go here, folks, something
we would like to pass along to you. It is
our quote of the day, first one on. Now I
feel more pressure. I didn't think about this. This is
the first one of the new year. I think you'll
(16:51):
I got two here for yeah, I'll use the other
one tomorrow. Here you go, Ropes quote. You never really
make it, You never really succeed, because that success is
never measured by anything you can put on a resume.
It's measured by who is by your bedside when you
pass away. Hm. That was I think that was my pastor.
(17:16):
But yeah, it makes you think, right success. You ask
anybody about their success. They'll tell you what they did
in business. They'll tell you how much money they make.
They tell you how high they got in this. They'll
tell you what they achieved. But there you find some
they'll say, Man to see my kids graduate from college. Man,
da da da da with me about that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love that you started off the year with this
because we do all get focused on our goals this
time of year, and a lot of them are financial,
and a lot of them are aspirational in terms of
what we want to achieve. But the real focus, the
true key to happiness is the quality of your relationships. Period.
There is nothing more important than that. And death is
that moment when you realize it. So if we can
(17:57):
rely realize it before we reach our deathbed, that's the
key to life.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So take that with you today and maybe throughout all
the twenty twenty six folks. You never really make it,
you never really succeed. That success is never measured by
anything you can put on a resume. It's measured by
who is by your bedside when you pass away. And
with that, everybody, I think this is the last time
we can say it Happy New Years. It stops at
(18:21):
a certain point.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, today's the last day. Yeah, today though the food well,
because now we're all getting back to work. We're officially
starting twenty twenty six. So yes, I think people are
seeing and greeting each other for the first time, maybe
after being away for the holidays. So now we can
all say it today and then tomorrow we get to work.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, Happy New Year, folks, appreciate your running with us.
I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Holmes and I'm Amy Roboch. We will run with you soon.
Morning Run with Amy and TJ and iHeartRadio Podcast. Good
morning everyone, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday,
January fifth.
Speaker 2 (00:11):

the threats against a historically close ally and against another
country and another people who have said very clearly that
they are not for sale.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He feels empowered in hearing his statements about these three countries.
He feels, I think, empowered, Like everybody is on notice.
What is this dude going to do? He just snatched
a president from the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Without checking with Congress first, without alerting anyone who would
typically think that they would at least be notified ahead
of time, let alone be asked to vote on such
a measure. But at this point we're all waiting to
see what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Next, because none of them want to end up like
the guy we are looking at is going to end
up again. We told you we literally are looking at
live pictures as of this recording, and that was a
very short helicopter ride. It appears Maduro has made his
way to Manhattan. He has off that helicopter. We see
him walking. What a tan jumpsuit looks like some almost
brightly colored orange shoes. But he has someone on either
(09:04):
side of him, says DEA. The label on the back
of their jackets. I assume that his wife walking behind him,
the little lady, but she's being escorted as well by
one or two officers. They are all full tactical gear
hero robes. As we watch look pictures being taken by
the DEA. They have their own photographer. But it's fascinating
(09:24):
to watch that this guy was chillin at a presidential
palace in Venezuela but three nights ago.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
This is unreal to actually watch happened in actual time
and to see the amount of law enforcement and watching
them be escorted like this, and yet to see that
photographer backpedaling like you would see a journalist. But it
was a member of the team documenting this historic moment
where you have the I guess we were discussing if
(09:52):
this is technically now the former president of Venezuela and
his wife being led in handcuffs, flanked by DA officers,
headed into a Manhattan federal courthouse and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Filing into an armored vehicle. This is just amazing to watch.
Nothing short of ten to fifteen armed, fully armed, tactically
geared up officers getting Maduro and his wife into the
back of this armored vehicle they are heading down. You're
going to see a lot of live shots today that
look familiar, folks, because it is the same door, the
same entrance, the same building where you saw all the
(10:25):
live shots from Diddy's trial. But again, we didn't expect
to be talking about this, but we're looking up and
happen to see these live pictures happening right now as
of this recording. We'll keep an eye there. Also, continuing
on the run here, we do want to tell you
about a couple of high profile trials that are getting underway,
both of them today, one of them in Texas, the
other in New Jersey. That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
First in Texas, one of the very first police officers
to respond to the Euvaldi school shooting is on trial today.
Adrian Gonzalez is facing twenty nine counts of child abandonment
or endangerment. He is a former Uvaldi school officer, and
prosecutors say he failed to protect those kids during the
attack by refusing to engage the shooter and by not
(11:06):
following his active shooter training.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
A reminder there in Uvalde, nineteen students were killed, two
teachers were killed, and a reminder as well. I didn't
remember how long the delay was. We remembered the delay,
but folks, we all were aware shots were being fired.
Officers arrived on the scene, and there was seventy seven
minutes that went by between their arrival and the time
(11:29):
they finally started to breach and go in and try
to save those kids.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Remember those parents who showed up to the school trying,
desperately begging police officers to go in and save their children.
It is horrific. So yes, he will be standing trial
and that begins today. Also today, the quadruple murder trial
of Paul Cadero begins in New Jersey. Jury selection begins.
This is a long away to trial. These murders happened
(11:54):
nearly eight years ago, November twentieth, twenty eighteen. Paul Cadero
is accused of murder ding his brother, his brother's wife,
and their two children, ages eight and eleven. They were
viciously murdered in their own home, and then prosecutors say
he burned two mansions, including his own, to cover the crime,
to try and make it look as though someone else
(12:15):
had it out for their family, when prosecutors say it
was in fact him who killed all of these members
of his own family for money.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this
Monday Morning run. When we come back, records are falling.
One of them impacts Michael straight Hand, another one impacts
the movie theaters, and another one has to do with
a really big fish. We continue here on this Monday
(12:48):
Morning run with a big congratulations to Miles Garrett and
a big sorry to Michael straight Hand. Uh straight I
remember watching this game all those years ago. He became
the all time I'M sacks leader. He had more sacks
in one season than any defensive player ever in history. Well,
Michael Strahan's record fell yesterday to Miles Garrett. Yes, a
(13:13):
defensive end for the struggling Cleveland Browns, but he set
the record twenty three sacks in one year. He beats
the record set by Stray and TJ. Watt tied it
a couple of years ago, but Stray had it since
two thousand and one. I believe the record straight had
was twenty two and a half sacks. How do you
have a half sack? They have a way of calculating
(13:34):
two guys could get to the ball at the same
time and you get credit for a half sack, and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
If he had just gotten the full sack, it would
have just been tied a half sack. I didn't even
know that that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's a thing, But Miles Garrett now has twenty three.
I'm sure Stray is happy for this guy. But a
great accomplishment to beat the record of one of the
all time grapes on a friend of ours. So there
you go, all right.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Next up on the run, speaking of breaking records, you're
Avatar crossing the one billion dollar world wide.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Mark number one at the box office.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Again, Avatar just keeps on truck, and these are just
successful movies, each and every one of them.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Be a rough year for the box office, and then
it kind of had a very good rush starting at Thanksgiving.
Zootopia set things all Zuzopia too. It's been doing gang.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Busters one point six billion dollars for that one, and
then The Housemaid and Marty Supreme. Some members of our
household all very much enjoyed Marty Supreme last night. So
that's getting great reviews and doing really well at the
box office as well.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But Zootopia too came out of November and it was
number two at the box office this weekend. It means
a lot of families. Well, now we're interested. Housemaid moved
up to number three. It wasn't that high last weekend,
so it's it. Look congrats. I'm happy to see movies
and theaters coming back. Has been a big deal. Still
trying to dig out from the pandemic. Finally here a
(14:56):
three point two million dollar fish.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
So when I saw it for do you put this
into the rundown? I actually was really confused. Three point
two million dollars. I couldn't imagine that that was the
money spent for one fish.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
It was a big fish.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And yet yeah it's a big fish, but three point
two million dollars big.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Fish, an important fish out of some of the most
precious waters. Where you can find this fish. We're talking
about bluefin tune that they do this for Yosu Fish
Market in Tokyo, famous spot over there. But this happens weekly,
but it's a big deal at the beginning of the year,
people going after a fish. But this company that has
this sushi chain over in Japan, this thing is five
(15:38):
hundred and thirty five pounds, and it comes out of
the Oma northern coast of Japan where the best bluefin
tuna okay, comes out of those waters.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So six thousand dollars a pound is what that amounts to.
So how much for a sushi platter with this fish.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Probably not that much. Because you take this, everybody hears
about it. Then when it comes to your restaurant, now
you can order this, you serve this, even if you
don't pay the highest premium. What else are you gonna do?
Get size, You're gonna get drinks. It pays for itself
throughout the company.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
This is actually a not only is it wonderful to eat, apparently,
but also a phenomenal publicity, a marketing tool, so to speak.
So you're investing in advertising. Basically, look at the free
advertising they're getting right now. So anyone who's in the
area is rushing to this restaurant.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
The former president of Venezuela is literally less than a
mile away from us, and we're talking about a fish
in Tokyo. So good job with your marketing this it
pays off. Before we let you go here, folks, something
we would like to pass along to you. It is
our quote of the day, first one on. Now I
feel more pressure. I didn't think about this. This is
the first one of the new year. I think you'll
(16:51):
I got two here for yeah, I'll use the other
one tomorrow. Here you go, Ropes quote. You never really
make it, You never really succeed, because that success is
never measured by anything you can put on a resume.
It's measured by who is by your bedside when you
pass away. Hm. That was I think that was my pastor.
(17:16):
But yeah, it makes you think, right success. You ask
anybody about their success. They'll tell you what they did
in business. They'll tell you how much money they make.
They tell you how high they got in this. They'll
tell you what they achieved. But there you find some
they'll say, Man to see my kids graduate from college. Man,
da da da da with me about that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love that you started off the year with this
because we do all get focused on our goals this
time of year, and a lot of them are financial,
and a lot of them are aspirational in terms of
what we want to achieve. But the real focus, the
true key to happiness is the quality of your relationships. Period.
There is nothing more important than that. And death is
that moment when you realize it. So if we can
(17:57):
rely realize it before we reach our deathbed, that's the
key to life.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
So take that with you today and maybe throughout all
the twenty twenty six folks. You never really make it,
you never really succeed. That success is never measured by
anything you can put on a resume. It's measured by
who is by your bedside when you pass away. And
with that, everybody, I think this is the last time
we can say it Happy New Years. It stops at
(18:21):
a certain point.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, today's the last day. Yeah, today though the food well,
because now we're all getting back to work. We're officially
starting twenty twenty six. So yes, I think people are
seeing and greeting each other for the first time, maybe
after being away for the holidays. So now we can
all say it today and then tomorrow we get to work.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Well, Happy New Year, folks, appreciate your running with us.
I'm TJ.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Holmes and I'm Amy Roboch. We will run with you soon.
